Odogwu Uzor Arukwe Proposes to Bisola Aiyeola in Stunning Surprise Engagement Moment

Odogwu Uzor Arukwe Proposes to Bisola Aiyeola in Stunning Surprise Engagement Moment

If you were scrolling and your heart skipped a beat seeing Uzor Arukwe on one knee before Bisola Aiyeola, you’re not alone. Thousands of fans did a double take and some even screamed before reading the fine print. But was it really an engagement? Not quite. Uzor and Bisola pulled one of the most creative and hilarious brand ambassadorship reveals we’ve seen in a while.

The duo shared what looked like a proposal photo, complete with Uzor kneeling, hand on Bisola finger as if sliding a ring on her finger, and Bisola gleaming in a shimmering gold dress. The internet, of course, lost its mind. Until they saw the caption.

“I went down on bended knees to ask Bisola to join me in the fight against malaria. Only the best partnerships, only the best protection!” Uzor wrote. “Proud Ambassadors of the Amatem Softgel Family, down on one knee… but never down with malaria.”

To clarify: No, they are not dating. No, there’s no wedding bell. And yes, we’ve all been wonderfully trolled.

The Backstory Behind the “Proposal”

The stunt was part of a new ambassadorial campaign for Amatem Softgel, a popular malaria medication in Nigeria. The brand posted a video just days ago, announcing the duo as their new faces, stating: “Life is full of beautiful moments that deserve to be enjoyed without worry! That’s why we trust only the BEST protection, Amatem Softgel.”

And what better way to drive home that message than a staged “engagement” photo that got the internet in their feelings?
